Great and historic place to explore for FREE. Each of the little benches at the courtyard area leading into the grave yard has the name, date and cause of death for each of those killed during the Salem with trials. It's a truly humbling place where people lay flowers and similar in memorial to those poor souls during the late 1700s who were unfairly executed by the Puritans. Definitely a must see place and grave yard if you're in Salem for the tourist attractions centered around the Salem Witch trials.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to visit! It was really busy when I went but everyone was friendly and respectful to each other! Even with the heavy foot traffic I was able to visit each spot. While the memorial isn’t a particularly large space it was easy to maneuver and take everything in. It is very well kept and clean! The offerings left for remembrance of each victim is incredibly heart touching. I was happy to be able to visit the spot for Giles (it was Halloween time if you’re wondering about my outfit). 🥀🖤
